Some donors choose to make a larger commitment to our work through their will or with a gift of assets. Beulah Drake's bequest to Oregon Wildlife Foundation (OWF) transformed our organization to the thriving organization we are today. The Fiske family's gift to OWF is providing perpetual support to projects within the Deschutes River basin. Our latest fund, established by the Breckel family, supports projects on the Summer Lake Wildlife Area.
If you are considering one of the following ways to become a Legacy Society member and would like further information, please contact us about making a planned gift to OWF.
